Even though I could only squeeze 644 watts out of the unit, at $300, that's only 47 cents per watt, quite a value. It's big enough to be fun, with a price you can afford. I'd recommend this amp for anyone whos doing a system for the first time.Read full review
Prior to this amp I owned Kenwood's kac-8104d. That in itself was a great amp. Never had any problem with it. This time I decided to upgrade to this one. I have it hooked up to my two Memphis Power Reference 12" subs in a sealed box in my 94' Firebird. I have it wired at 4ohms, so it's pushing them with 500 watts rms. Definitely louder then the 8104d! My whole car shakes with it up, tho it even shook with the 8104d, just now a bit more. True bass you can feel! If my windows are rolled down, you can hear me pretty far away! So far never had any overheating problems or anything like that. It's a great buy.
I have always loved kenwood growing up. Kenwood is all I believe in for great sond and superior quality. Now that I have my own car I have nuthing but Kenwood in it. But anyway I have had this amp pushing 2 2000 watt kenwood twelves for over a year now, yes I meant 2000 watts. The only thing is that you have to break the amp from cutting off on you when it is first used. after i got it broke I couldnt get it to cut off. This amp by far I think is better than any amp of its class. It just wont stop once it gets started. Getting ready to buy another so I can strap them together for a bass pounding machine.
I like the bass boost and the adjustable crossover. At first I had problems with the amp getting hot. My problem was the input adjustment. This amp differs from other amps I had in the past. The input sensitivity don't make much difference in the output of the amp. I turned my input all the way down and my amp still drives the two subs to the max. This is by far the most powerful amp for the size that I have ever had. I did not like it at first, but once I got the input sensitivity adjusted, it was great.
i bought the amp about a month ago and was thoroughly impressed as soon as i hooked it up. Plenty of power does not get hot great current fuse cut off. Don't think the plate covering the settings was necessary but its a small con for an otherwise great product will be upgrading to the 2400 watt model soon
